The politician said it was the latest attempt to intimidate the party in recent months.

He continued: “We have seen Ukip premises vandalised, billboards destroyed and elected representatives, campaigners and activists targeted with physical and verbal abuse.

“Many if not all of these attacks appear to have been driven by the hard left and their allies operating under the guise of ‘anti-racism’.”

Police said they are investigating the incident and reviewing CCTV in the area.

Mr Farage has responded the attack is the result of an anti-Ukip media campaign and tweeted a link to the Nope Not Hope blog.

He said: “I've just heard the disgraceful news that my colleague Gerard Batten MEP's house was attacked with bricks. The attack on his home is a direct consequence of the media campaign against UKIP."

Shortly after the attack Nigel Farage’s home address and personal details were published on a violent anti-fascist blog.

The Nope Not Hope blog is a play on words of the Hope Not Hate anti-racism group. Hope Not Hate are consulting lawyers after Farage alleged members of the group are threatening violence at Ukip meetings.
